I am confirming the revamped Emmet's Crew project will follow the same "interactive story" to the "After School" story it's based off. BUT (and it's a big one), I will need some help from you guys, in the form of "information and resources." I wanna think smart with this project and not harder with this project. It's going to be a big commitment, in which I'd like your guys' help to help speed the process, but in a natural and elegant way. So with that said, if anyone can help answer questions I've already got:

• Does anyone know a good website to publish the project? (I was thinking of Blogspot, just like the original source from where it came from. But IDK if there's a better website that can process it better.)

• Does anyone know a good program to help "map out" the different routes you can go? (I've played games like Detroit: Become Human, and I like how it maps out different routes and such. I just don't know good software that will help make one of those [I don't even know what those are called. Tree charts?])

• Does anyone know some good background pictures to use? (I do have one possible source: I have the BD rips of the Pokémon anime: from DP to XY, and I was thinking of going through those episodes and snapshot moments in the anime where the focus is on the background, but if anyone else knows a better solution or have better eyes to pinpoint a good background shot from the anime to the project, let me know!)

• Would you guys mind if the story was a first-person view, in the POV of Sammy? (I know it'd break the streak of the stories being in third-person, but I think if I'm following the "After School" formula, I might as well have Sammy be the character you guys will have.)

I'll post more questions if any comes to mind, but if you know someone that can help with information, I don't mind you sharing this passage with them. But for now: any help or advice is appreciated!

I wanted to put in my 2 cents for Dragoneer, because while I didn't know the person himself, I am super grateful for creating this site, where I've had quite the history with, and where I got to express myself through my art. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have met a lot of my friends for it. So while I'm hoping that Dragoneer will be resting in peace, I can say, for all of us, that we greatly appreciate what you did for the community with this site. Thank you.

TERMS OF SERVICE
These are just the basics, but very vital for future work. Please read carefully. If you can't abide by these guidelines, then we shouldn't work together.
Just please follow the terms, plain and simple.

What I NEED From You
• I NEED a reference for the character(s) you want drawn. Please, I don't care if it's just a sketch you drew or someone’s art that drew your character. I just need something to look at. I'm far from professional, but a visual aid will definitely help.
• Patience. I cannot stress enough how chaotic my schedule is, from many obligations I must stick to. I try to get progress done in the little free time I have, but I lose track of time all the time. I'll try to keep you up to date on any developments.

Content
• I reserve the right to turn down a commission for any reason.
• I will NOT draw any other fetishes I am not comfortable with. Diapers, Vore, Hyper, Gas, and Inflation are the biggest ones I will straight-up refuse.
• I will NOT draw characters with “abnormal features,” like taur, mermaid-like bodies, extra limbs, etc.
• I will NOT draw MLP.
• I will NOT draw Sonic characters.
• Underaged characters in harmful or fetishized situations are an ABSOLUTE NO.

Payment
• Payments will be done through PayPal.
• I’ll send an invoice after you have been satisfied with the sketch and ready to proceed with finalizing it. I ask if you could have it paid out before you get the finalized version of the project.
• If you would like to cancel a commission, let me know as soon as you can! No hard feelings! BUT...
• I can only issue the refund for the project if it’s still being sketched. Meaning once you approved the sketch and I have moved onto the finalizing process, that’s it. No turning back after.

Distribution
• Once I’m done with a project, I’ll post it in my gallery along with sending you the full-sized picture.
• If you would like to post it yourself, please wait the 24 hours after I originally post it.
• PLEASE credit me (via link in description to either my profile or the original work) if you do plan to post.
• Please let me know if you want the commission private. I will respect your wish and not post it. Same goes to you, if you do ask.
• If you also like to remain anonymous before I post it, please let me know as soon as possible.
• Do not use my art for NFTs or other types of digital assets.
• Do not use my art for Al software training or AI art generation.

Communication
• If you need to get in touch with me, please send me a note. Notes are preferred for first-time interactions.
• Please do not “spam” me on the progress of the project through these notes. It will not speed things if you continuously spam messages at me in trying to get progress updates. Like I said before, there’s only limited free time I have to work on these.
• Respect my boundaries.

Thanks to the convincing of HarryBCD I am now officially open with a new Telegram Channel! Come and join here!

Like other artists and their Telegram, I’ll be sure to keep up on it! I’ll do some WIPs, some engagement activities, like polls and opinions, for future projects and such, and just joining a community that loves the Brocarios as much as its own creator!

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but I’m curious on the watcher’s thoughts. What do you guys feel about me doing some kind of commission-based thing?

Like, I would want to do commissions, when I have more free time, but as of recent incidents, I’m kind of in a pinch. Not to the point where I’m dying or anything. But I am definitely struggling more than ever, even with a job. I am looking as hard as I can for a better job, as some of my friends have heard me cry about, sadly, but recent events are definitely making it harder than ever. That’s why I’m curious on people’s thoughts. Maybe I could do like YCH auctions? (As I’ve seen from other artists) Emergency sketch commissions? (I don’t make the greatest looking sketches, but I do have some style with it.) Maybe one full commission at a time? (Because I get overwhelmed so easily, I figured one at a time would be okay, but IDK about my prices.)

Give me your feedback. What would you guys suggest be the best route right now?

First off, I want to apologize for the lack of context. I know I don’t have to apologize to you guys, as some of you may comment, but it’s more of an apology to myself because we have so much we WANT to do with the Brocarios, especially in this new continuity! It just sucks that because of work and some weird recent events (out-of-context terms from those events: contracts, school, grocery) has been stressing me out and eating up a LOT of my time. Long stories short, I’ve been able to resolve some of these events, besides work though. I have been trying to not let work and these events get to me, but it’s been hard not to have my spirit and motivation crushed consistently, like the last few months. The best I’ve been doing is throwing these darts at the workforce, hoping one will hit for a new job.

Until then, I want to thank you all for your patience. It’s been difficult to work on these projects with this mindset, but lately, I have been able to get some progress done with bits and pieces, with the little bit of motivation I’ve been having. Hopefully, some more motivation will burst out after this weekend, since as of now, a couple of these random, stressful events have been resolved. I know the work won’t be resolved for a while, but I will try for it to not crush my spirit and motivation to get some Brocarios content done! Especially with what we’ve got planned.

Just for a heads-up for everyone to expect: the next “big” project will be a retelling of younger Gerry and the kidnapping of everyone’s favorite “Charidad,” Rico Burner! In this continuity, we’re trying to flesh Rico out more, while changing up some stuff for his debut story! Without giving too much away, we will be establishing Rico and Gerry’s relationship so much more, than in the original story where Gerry straight-up kidnaps Rico! There will be some new context to Gerry and Rico’s character and relationship before the new version of the kidnapping in this new version is done! Speaking of kidnapping, we’re hoping to go a bit more “mature” than just tickling with Rico’s kidnapping by Gerry~! So, stay tuned for that!

Aside from the new “rehash” of an old story, we hope to reveal some new stuff we’re adding to the new continuity! For example, we teased of a new character for the new continuity: a new Rillaboom? “Who is he?” Leave your guesses on who and how this character will play into the new continuity! Hopefully in between these big projects, because after the new Rico story, the new Emmet’s Crew story is next, I’ll get some idea pictures of the boys doing bondage stuff together! OR your ideas? Let me know! You know I like some icebreaker picture ideas in between projects like this!

I think that pretty much covers what I’ve got! Hopefully, the hard part of this life is over, as we try to push forward! Thank you all again for listening, and hopefully, we'll get some new content soon! For my sake! (You have no idea how much content we've been storing up and not being able to get it out there fast enough!)

Probably about a month ago, I kind of did a “purge” of pictures and stories that relate to the old, “incest” canon. I didn’t realize how many people took notice of it, but I’m letting you guys know that I didn’t think people would look back on my old content. I did it for the sake of the new, “natural” continuity. Kind of the equivalent of the “new version of the original” being the only available source of the Brocarios, but not knowing people still loved the “original version” and like to look back on it. However, I won’t be like those ignorant developers cough cough Rockstar Games cough GTA Trilogy cough cough who just keeps the original versions off the market for others to look back on.

That’s why very soon, I’ll re-upload all the material: stories, pictures, and side pictures I have saved on my computer back online! Of course, it’ll be in the scraps, since the Natural Continuity is my main focus. However, people are right about the original inspiring the “reboot,” but I’ll have a folder dedicated to the old canon.

Just wanted to let you guys know about this “important update” we’re doing for the Brocarios!

So, the co-creator and I have been talking, and we decided to take the incest out of the Brocarios. Don’t get us wrong: we love the characters, stories, and lore we built upon the “incest” base; it’s just that it’s been kind of hard to write new stuff with that hovering over us. I think we just got off on how “hot” the Brogulls were, we didn’t really think about the awkwardness of it all until recently. Not that we leaned too hard into the romantic stuff, but we do know it was harder to write and draw. That’s why we plan to do a sort of “reset” on everything.

This means we’re creating a new continuity for the Brocarios: the “natural” canon, as we dubbed it. It’s a new continuity with a lot of the same story beats, but with the incest removed from the equation. Meaning we’ve been working hard to make Sammy and Emmet not brothers anymore or related by blood. We went back in and changed up their back stories, along with many other changes as well. We’ll have comparison “charts” to note the biggest changes between characters, in terms of their stories, but these are going to be “new versions” of the same characters we’ve all come to love before! It’s just a new canon we made for them! The best example I can think of, going forward for future projects, is the “Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon” scenario.

As for the old stuff already published, which we call the “incest” canon, it’s all going to be in my scraps. We’re also not going to continue where the story left off in this canon. So the next few projects going forward is going to be a “new-ish” take on old stories we’ve already told, but with the new “changes in lore” in mind. But if you miss my old stuff, it’s all going to be in my scraps! I hope everyone understands why the change and reset! We’re still going to give all we got going forward! For now, say hello to Sammy Calura, Emmet Auraston, and Daddy Gerry Auraston!
